Calculating Child Support Obligations In Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania courts consider several key factors when determining child support payments. These include:
- Net income and earning capacity of each parent, including imputed income
- Custody arrangement
- Health insurance costs for the children
- Childcare and educational expenses
- Additional expenses for extracurricular activities or medical needs
We help parents understand these complex calculations and ensure all relevant financial information is properly presented to the court.
Modifying Child Support Orders
Child support orders are not set in stone. They can be modified when a substantial change in circumstances happens to a family. This can be a job loss, income change, or major shifts in custody arrangements. The process typically involves filing a petition with the court and a child support conference where both parties can present their information.
Addressing Unpaid Child Support
Pennsylvania child support laws provide several enforcement tools to help parents collect unpaid support, such as wage garnishment, tax refund interception, and even suspension of licenses. The Blair County Domestic Relations Section offers child support services to help track payments and enforce orders. It is also crucial to work with a child support attorney to improve your chances of resolving payment issues while minimizing conflict.
